Saw Udo Kier on stage in Berlin in 2019 at the premiere of ‘Iron Sky 2’ (a film I am happy to defend). He played Hitler riding a T-Rex called Blondie, and was having a whale of a time at the premiere being a) very drunk and b) pleased as punch about the line ‘Sieg Heil, Mutter Ficker!’ Total legend.
Poster art for ’Iron Sky 2 - The Coming Race’ showing Udo Kier as Kortfleisch in a robe looking like Emperor Palpatine from Star Wars (a part he could totally have played), and him as Hitler astride his pet Tyrannosaurus.

Scratch ‘n’ Sniff cinema is the future!
This thing absolutely stinks, and I’m concerned it’s going to contaminate my messenger bag before I can get it home and get it safely in a ziplock bag.

I’m on a train from London to Manchester catching up on my backlog of @2000ad.bsky.social, and the many announcements utilising the ‘See it, Say it, Sorted!’ slogan are giving me ‘Be Pure! Be Vigilant! Behave!’ vibes.
Torquemada from 2000ad’s Nemesis The Warlock saying ‘Be Pure! Be Vigilant! Behave!’

Shoutout for the short film ‘Atom & Void’ shown at @sohohorrorfest.bsky.social alongside the feature ‘ICK’.

One of the best short films I’ve seen this year (and possibly ever).

Day 2 - Film 6
The originally programmed ‘I Bury The Dead’ got pulled by the distributor for ‘reasons’. Its replacement was ‘ICK’. Great fun! A combination of ‘The Faculty’, ‘The Blob’ and ‘The Thing’ all wrapped in a big MAGA allegory and with a killer soundtrack.
